In spring, dogs and cats refuse to eat, and spring is an important reason!

Like humans, dogs and cats sometimes have poor appetite and no appetite. Since there are no obvious symptoms, the pet owner will feel inexplicably and helpless. Is there any reason? In fact, the reason is very simple, there is no need to be too nervous~~~

1. Are you overeating?

Dogs and parents love their babies very much and serve them with delicious food and drinks. Many times, dogs will not want to eat anything else when they eat too much. You can judge with your hands. If the dog's belly is round and it feels like it is about to burst, it must be eaten too much. Be careful to touch it lightly.

2. Is there something wrong with what I feed?

If the dog is not overeating, it may be because there is something wrong with the food you feed. For example, if you eat too much food from people, it may become picky about the food you feed, and gradually dislike the food you feed is not delicious and rich enough, let alone dog food. This will happen if the dog food is not palatable.

3. Is there a worm?

If you change dog food or give it food you usually like, and you are not in good spirits and have no appetite, you may have parasites.

4. Are you sick?

If none of the above is true, it may be caused by gastrointestinal diseases.

5. Is it caused by emotions or weather?

There is also "Lin Daiyu" among dogs. Some dogs with delicate minds or sensitive bodies will lose their appetite when they are in a depressed mood or the climate is stuffy.

6. The dog's abandoned inferiority and depression

is abandoned by its owner. It will feel very depressed, look dejected all day long, inactive and lack interest in things. This often lasts for a while. There was even a behavior of refusing food, which is the most worrying thing. Both the old owner and the new owner who are accepted are reluctant to happen, and it is difficult to solve it. You should know that the dog will not last for a few days without eating or drinking.

7. Causes of estrus

In spring, the temperature rebounds, which is the peak of estrus in dogs and cats. Due to the dual effects of physiological and psychological aspects, the appetite of many dogs and cats will be affected.

For dogs, we have some tips.

1. Develop a regular diet

and never spoil your baby too much. It is a taboo to just enter biscuits, candies, snacks, etc. You must master the main and secondary. The main meal is the main and snacks are the supplement. Snacks can only be used as an occasional reward. In addition, you should choose what dogs can eat. Chocolate, garlic and other things are all "NO". The following situation is even more unsatisfactory.

2. It is best to feed dog food

In fact, the most suitable dog food is dog food. All kinds of foods eaten by people, homemade dog food, etc. are inevitably biased in quality and quantity. You should choose dog food with comprehensive and balanced nutrition and palatability, such as Bernard Tian Pu Grain-free Natural Food, but delicious dog food cannot be stopped once you eat it. Dogs must not be greedy and feed them strictly according to the amount on the packaging.

3. Regular deworming

Usually, dogs should be dewormed once every three months. For puppies, they usually deworm once every 8 weeks, 12 weeks, 4 months, 5 months, and 6 months. Especially dogs that often eat raw and cold meat foods are particularly prone to parasites, and it is recommended to deworm once a month. If you haven't done it well, what are you waiting for? Take action quickly.

4. It is best to seek medical treatment

If all the above are done, but the dog still does not eat, then you must carefully observe whether the dog's stool is abnormal, etc. If possible, take the dog's body temperature and seek medical treatment in time and do not delay the condition.

5. Replenish some nutritional supplements in a timely manner. Don’t think that only people need to supplement them. It is also necessary for weak and poor appetite dogs. For example, if you have a little Viscon intestinal health, it may have unexpected results.

6. Strengthen exercise
